Fast Skipping

How to perform

1. 01Start in a relaxed position with one leg slightly forward. This will be your starting position.
2. 02Skip by executing a step-hop pattern of right-right-step to left-left-step, and so on, alternating back and forth.
3. 03Perform fast skips by maintaining close contact with the ground and reduce air time, moving as quickly as possible.

Form cues

• —Brace your core before the first rep and keep it braced.
• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
• —Adding weight before the movement pattern is clean.
